Middle Aged Grouch

Cities in Israel can be quite dirty no doubt. But you seem to forget that there are people holding an Israeli passport, who are arabs and not of jewish confession. You really ignore the realities of that area in your racist ramp. Maybe a bit to much time speng drinking at your sports bar and screming "yo Mate" all over ?

Ukes or Ruskys are the same culturally speaking and in their shrewd practice of warefare. None is better then the other one when it comes to politics or war. Not to forget the highly corrupt government in Ukraine that even the civilian and decent urkrainians wanted out a few days before the war. As for the panama papers scandal ... the 400 millions missing as per reports from US investigative journalists...free to all to choose their side I may say.

You missed the other article saying they wanted to stay i Phuket and refuse to leave.

India indeed is out to be the next superpower and reliable geopolitical and commercial partner. I only can agree with that. The rest on your comment is up to you, but I'm afraid it may work perhaps in Disneyland but not in the future of reality.

I also saw the changes announced. Also had issues through Line app with unwanted spams and strangers adding me as "friend" since a few months. When I contacted their assistance via the App they gave me a ridiculous answer, hinting it was my fault. Usery may have not read the recent update news on the changments announced shortly. Unfortunately Line is widely used here but I make it a point to ask for an alternative method of free call. Viber is good or even Facebook.

And of course you are ex CIA, ex Navy Seal and why not, ex SAS and GIGN ? sure..

What a coincidence. Same happened to me often. Except that it was usually a drunk beer belly Brit or Aussie...

Always watch your back with the rent-a-week female bar stool "guide". Her jealous ex or current hidden boyfriend/husband can get into rampen rage.

I understand you are brainwashed by the mainstream media but unfortunately more and more people are just fed up with these wars that are always caused either by the USA or by Russia.

As we are in cctober, time to forget and drop April !!

Amazing the number of newbies who suddenly appear in the comments to criticize Thailand and Russia. Seems like a busy day for the US propaganda machine back at some obscur black site.

Why ? I do not see a photo with anybody from Israel or the USA ? Israel army shot down a journalist from Al Jazeera network some time back. Israel refused the injunctions of the international criminal court to bring the military chaps guilty to court and it was fully with the support of the US who refused that Israel respond to the crime in at the International Criminal Court. So no better then Russia IMHO.

The future of economic prosperity is anywhere but no longer with the US or Europe. A smart businessman like the actuel Thai PM has perfectly understood that.

Still, better you leave.

Any progress the Red Bull case regarding the alleged manslaughter of a Thai Police officer in a road accident ?

Depending on where one is now born in a western nation, all the green-eco-woke trend, will tell the child that he is a female, make boys dress as girls and make girls dress as boys and force people to use mixed gender public toilets. That's another step of our european and western absurdity, that will lead to a disturbed future civilisation.

Wonderful east european quality tourists with free 90 day tourist visa stay.

Visiting Bangkok can be a health hazard for western tourists more used to good air quality back home. Smokers at higher risk. Better to choose another place for the holiday. Up to you if you don't care.

Europe is already giving a safe haven and a free entry to all the Ukrainian mafia or the muslim potential terrorists threats or the excessive migrants from Africa.

Then no need to ask others why they comment isn't it ? Is this that hard to understand for a nimble mind ?

And who is Biden ? Staline ?

No matter what the "misunderstanding" is. If at any point drugs were being sold, no matter what, the place is jail. And that's it. This story also reminds all to be very wary of the friendly farang who will try to chat you up and often the farangs in Thailand create more problems then others.

Why post ? well on the other side, why respond if the post bothers you ?

Today the japs,koreans or other chinamen are paying 150$ and thus creating inflation all over those nice "entertainement guide ladies".

The point is to be street smart and avoid anybody trying to get to close, or who comes over and asks a question. Almost got caught this summer in Europe, when an eastern european chap with a map came over to ask his way. Spontaneously i was trying to show him the way, when my girlfrien suddenly saw how he was using one hand to hold the map and below the map, hiding his other hand heading towards my pocket. I just stepped back fast, said thank you and walked away, On looking back few meters further, the chap had just vanished. East europeans are obviously not the only ones, but they do have well organised gangs that operate all over the world.
